Hi, I’m planning to attend a language school in Tokyo later this year on a working holiday visa. I’m somewhere between N3 and N2 now and aiming to pass N2 after 6 months of school then job hunt for the latter 6 months with the intention to permanently stay in Japan, either staying in my industry or being an English teacher at least temporarily as a back-up plan.
I’ve narrowed it down to a few schools but I noticed that some are nisshinkyo accredited and others aren’t. How much does this actually matter?
Maybe it just looks better when employers search the school from your resume? According to my foreign friend who’s employed in Japan, the speaking and reading ability you display during actual interviews matters the most…
I have a good feeling about one school that isn’t accredited and I don’t want to rule it out.
Thanks in advance!
